List active alerts
AI agents call alert_list to retrieve information from Tradingview without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays existing alerts from TradingView without creating, modifying, or deleting any data. It is a read-only operation with no side effects, matching the Read category definition. The blast radius is minimal—misuse would only expose existing alert configuration data, not cause financial loss or destructive changes.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'alert_list' and description 'List active alerts' indicate a query operation that retrieves alert information without modifying state.
